(I know everyone always says don’t give out free feet pics on the internet haha, but I didn’t take a ton of photos on the cruise, so here’s one of our feet.)
So, anyway, we got to have a nice, long boat ride back and watched all of sunset, which was beyond gorgeous.
We spent most of the time together, and he told me some stories of his childhood I didn’t know, which was nice to learn.
We also spent some time talking to our new friends (me with the girl, and him with the guy), and Curtis showed me a little about navigating the boat.
It was just so calm, and the ocean air felt great, and the views were beautiful. It was, like most of Barbados, perfect in every way.
And THEN, as if the day couldn’t get any more perfect, to get back to the hotel, we got to ride the party bus!
And it was really just so special and magical. Perfection. (Sorry, I know I use a lot of the same flowery words and phrases. I just loooooved Barbados so much.)
So, anyway, we get on this party bus. Everyone is slamming rum, because… it’s Barbados!
I’m still taking it super easy, and didn’t even drink 1/4 of a drink on the boat. (I’ve gotta get up early and go scuba diving the next day! So, I’m trying to be responsible, plus, I’m not a big drinker to begin with.)
But it is fun and cute to see everybody loving everything so deeply, and everyone just singing the party songs so loudly.
And Alex and I had talked about this adorable family that was there, having so much fun, and he kind of talked wistfully about how cool it would be to be one of those kids, having such a laid-back super-fun time with your parents.
And as we’d been talking about how fun it would be to be on this trip with your family, as we looked at each other, while we were singing and dancing at/with each other on this bus, I realized… I am here with my family. He is family to me.
And so this silly little party bus just meant so much.
[I didn’t post the video of us singing to each other, because you gotta keep some things private haha, but there he is looking out the window when there was a break in the singing.]
So, anyway, there was another absolutely perfect day in Barbados, and then we roll into the next one!
